Up The Gene Tree

We often forget that the reason we are here today is because of the survival and reproduction of our ancestors. Our time now is very different.

Up The Gene Tree

by nesbitandgibley
To my ancestors, thank you for your bravery.
For your courage in wars,
For your resistance in plagues,
For your survival in jungles,
For your warmth in winters.
Each of you are prime specimens of
Human beings and the reason I’m here today.
It’s not a comparison, our times to yours, instead it’s a different world.
We have flavoured medicine in orange, grape and blackcurrant variants.
Let others and the author know if you liked it
